Students in the classic MBA, the MBA in Professional Accounting, the AEMBA and the Global Professional-MBA programs have the option of constructing a dual (double) concentration.

Depending on the individual's career direction, the Dual Concentration option can be an extremely targeted and effective course of study. For example, a student interested in the marketing of financial services could choose a Dual Concentration in Marketing and Finance; a student aiming at a career in personal financial planning could pursue a Dual Concentration in Accounting and Finance.

Requirements for a Dual Concentration

• The completion of all MBA degree requirements.
• The completion of five courses each in two different academic areas of concentration.
• The first concentration is satisfied through current program requirements in the specified concentration area.
• The second concentration may be completed by using two breadth electives, two free electives and a fifth course in another area.
• Students must follow the distribution requirements of the breadth electives (e.g., no more than two courses in any area).
• The fifth course is over and above the current program requirements and increases the total number of credits needed to complete a degree. In instances where a student may have used one or more of the necessary breadth and/or free slots for other course work, more than one additional course may be needed to fulfill the requirements of a dual concentration.
